It was absolutely worth the $20! It was so incredibly accurate down to the timing of when we would get to each marked location. It was extremely chill and upbeat enough to keep everyone engaged and awake. Best app ever!
Loved the narration, tips and guidance. Felt like he was in the car with us, a native of the island.
I’ve done the road to Hanna with a full tour guide and bus a few times and this was as good if not better. You have the freedom of driving your own car and the knowledge and guidance of the equivalent of a full time guide. And you will lose service during most of the trip however, the app kept going telling us when to turn and it was very very accurate. Really great experience!
The guidance was fantastic. The extra insight was delightful. Very informative.
Best $15 app EVER! We were sooo glad to have this narration for our entire journey to, and beyond, Hana.
This guided tour was absolutely phenomenal. If you plan to drive the road to Hana, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. I do NOT recommend doing the drive without this! Informative but also perfect navigation. But absolutely make reservations before going or you’ll get 2 hours in and realize you can’t get into some of the coolest spots to see.
We found this app to be entertaining along with extremely informative. It was absolutely on point with directions and stops. We would highly recommend this if you’re going to travel on the road to Hana. Enjoy!!!!
We took the Original route and came back the same way. The tour was fabulous, entertaining and help us through when we had no cell service. It was a must have and learned a few things along the way. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I would highly recommend
What an amazing way to tour the road to Hana! It was so informative and I can’t imagine doing it without the virtual tour guide (whom we affectionately named Mr Ben Hana). Well worth every penny!
We enjoyed the audio guide. Very helpful in deciding where to spend our time.
